Training Log Archive: PrueD

After an evening of ice, antiinflammatories and elevation, then a good sleep, l declared myself fit to start today. The aim was to finish without falling over. This meant walking most of it. This aim was achieved and l'll live to see another day. Made a few errors and wandered aimlessly a bit.
I enjoyed being out in the bush and could have happily ambled for a few more hours.

Day 1. Was an early starter. Plodded along. Got about half way when l came out on a track and tripped over a rock in fairly spectacular style, right in front of Margie. Got grazed hands, elbow and knee (3rd time in 6 months). Large bump came up on the side of my knee. Did 2 more controls before giving up and walked back to the start.
I seem to be making a habit of this. I think l was tired (couldn't sleep again) and don't lift my feet high enough. Disappointed! Spent the rest of the day on ice (the cold variety).

Easter prologue at the Uni of Canberra. I got a bit confused on several controls, went to 6 before 5 and faded 2/3 into the race. Didn't matter as it was fun.

Swim in the Benalla pool before driving to Canberra. Cold was a 2 day wonder and l feel fine now. Lovely to have a big stretch out before the event.

Felt perfectly well on the way to work. Then suddenly l was struck down with sneezing and a runny nose that wouldn't stop. I had to type with one hand.
Just my luck - just as holidays are approaching :(
